Flights to Mitchellville, Iowa from NT$30,374

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mitchellville could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Mitchellville quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
